I met a guy in a bar, and they asked me why the democrats lost (we don’t live in the US)

I replied with something along the lines of “because they didn’t condemn the genocide in Gaza” and they responded with “isn’t that hypocritical? The left claims to be against antisemitism”

I tried to explain the usual antizionism isn’t antisemitism, but before I finished they responded with “but we have to give the [antisemitic slur] something”

I had to leave for my turn on the karaoke, but after that they came up to me apologizing and explaining how they hate both sides

I don’t want to live in a shitty web comic

    idk. Apparently the popular vote ended up being quite close so I’d venture to say there was no deciding factor and Killemall needed every one of the votes she set on fire.

    Yeah it looks like the final call had Harris down by 2.5 million or so, 50% to 48.4%. So, any issue that alienated or discouraged people, even if it wasn’t deciding for people, likely played a factor.
